JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 29, 2023 Zzzzzzzzz still nothing of significance in this Ukie counteroffensive. Front lines have barely moved. Ukraine's goal is to cut off the Crimea from the rest of Russia but nothing has happened. Were about a month in now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 30, 2023 Q: how do we determine the front has moved? A: there are two ways this is done. 1. both Ukraine and Russia announce the same piece of land has changed hands. 2. video is released that shows one of them bombing a piece of land that had been assumed to be under their control. they cant be attacking their own land, so it must have changed hands.

It's not about progress right now. It's probing and decoy maneuvers. Have some patience, bro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have some patience, bro. there is a real risk that if Ukraine cannot show progress soon, NATO countries will stop throwing money at it. or the US voters will turn against supporting it more.

So patience really isn't an option. No, you can bet that whatever the strategies Ukraine is using here have plenty of western intel and guidance. Must you look for a castrophe in everything. Give it some time, man. Russians have created some pretty insane defensive networks, and Urkaine isn't going to just rush in there. Russia isn't going to win this. I giggle at what one A10 Warthog would do to their defenses just focking around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 14,912 Posted July 1, 2023 I really want a deal for peace. After what Biden and the left have done to our military I don’t think it is ready for actual large scale combat. Leftards don’t realize that it’s not all about special forces when it’s a prolonged war. It becomes about the rank and file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Hunt 261 Posted July 1, 2023 Looks like this is just going to be a quagmire. Ukraine is fighting for its homeland so they will never give up. Russia will keep throwing bodies into the meat grinder. Right now not even sure what a victory would be for Russia as they will never be able to control the entire population. It could turn into a terrorist state on constant bombings and attacks against the occupiers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,557 Posted July 1, 2023 Seems pretty obvious to me that Russia will get all of the Donbass. People are just dying for no reason in the meantime. Well I guess Ukraine will need to grow tired of burying people and some security guarantees before they cede that territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 3, 2023 rumor is that the famed 92nd mechanized brigade of Ukraine just got disbanded. they were once very highly acclaimed, but most of the elite members are dead and they had to fill the ranks with old men to keep it going. at some point, rumors are they revolted against Ukraine and were put down. some members got reassigned but the unit is gone. itll be interesting to see the truth come out to confirm / deny any of this in the weeks or months ahead but its being kept under wraps for now. the only recent photos i found of the 92nd were of old, balding men in their 40s or 50s. note that Ukraine conscription is from 18-60 and many of the youth fled in february 2022 when 25% of the ukraine population went overseas instead of fighting russia.

We are providing logistical support via mainly the Globemaster (C17) but getting equipment/tanks from there to the front lines is the real problem. Both Russia and Ukraine can't get anything to the front, that's why it's moving very slowly. It's literally close range, hand to hand combat at this point.
